It has been a while now since I attended the conference organised by Joe Dale. It was a very amazing experience, lots of people have blogged about the workshops that they attended- just follow the links if you want to find more information about it.
My first workshop was "Thinking outside the box" where Chris Fuller demonstated how he uses mobile phones, i-pods and cheap cameras to motivate his students. The results are very good and can be seen on Chris'blog.
My second workshop was from podcast to vodcast with Adam Sutcliffe. Adam showed us how to use digital video in the classroom.
In the afternoon, I looked at Animation and produced a short film. I enjoyed playing with playdough and I am keen to exploit this further with my classes.
I also listened to Sharon Balch talk how she is using AFL. Her talk was very inspirational and I am certainly going to use some of her ideas in the classroom.
I feel that it was worth spending a week-end looking at new technologies and meeting with teachers who are so enthusiastic about the use of ICT in the classroom.
For our animation Aurélie, Claire and myself decided to create a dog and a frog and play hide and seek. Here is the results
